tears in heaven

I have been playing for approximately one year. I consider myself a beginner.

I tried to play this song. the tab is from this site. So what do you guys think. I admit it has some "oops" moments but anyway....Any feedback is appreciated.

Thats coming along great. You need to hit the melody line on the top strings a bit harder in places so it doesn't get drowned out,but all in all a great effort. congrats

Pretty good! what a cool song to be able to play, probably my favourite lesson Kirk's done. The more comfortable you get with it the smoother it should get and you'll be able to squeeze more feeling out of it. You might want to try tapping your foot along with the beat if you don't already to help keep good time.

I bet your friends/family are impressed

WOW! What a beautiful song, you've played it really nice, remember, you can only get better!

Super job! its really coming along good...thanks for letting us have a listen xirisx

Excellent xirisx ... fantastic job, and even more so considering you've only been playing for a year. There are those who were born to be twangers, and you're one of them, obviously. Your take is very musical ... keep recording, keep posting. You're going to be an inspiration for others here, playing like that.

hiya xirisx, its weird cos you try to learn and play kirks stuff and cant measure what you can do until you get some brave dude like yourself showing how far they have got. think you done a great job mate, i'll keep trying.

xirisx, thats completely awesome for someone who's only been playing for a year. I'm very impressed. Definitely sounds musical.

xirisx · #9 December 3rd, 2005

wooooah.... All of you are giving me such good feedback. I always thought that I should play better bcz I've been playing for a year (I think that with one year people should be able to play better that I do).

Thanks for your advice Allthumbs and Mushroomlord. I'll try to keep the melody running on the lower strings also and I'll try to keep better time.

Thank you everybody.

Xirisx:

I wish I can play like that. Very impressive. I agree with the others, once you play more and you will be able to even put more feeling into it. Great great job!!!

Jean · #11 December 5th, 2005

Yup, exactly that.

xirisx: How do you record yourself? It seems that we are using a smiliar setup (spanish acostic with nothing else). I been looking for an easy way to record myself onto the computer but I still ain't sure how to proceed..?
It doesn't need to fancy or anything - just a recording actually.

Nice, but you don't need to hurry.

drabbag · #14 December 6th, 2005

Sounds great... Ive been playing around 2 months and have just started the second lesson of this song. These posts are inspiring for me. THanks!

I use my mp3 player to record (my mp3-player records and plays).

If you have a microphone you can use this free software: http://www.topshareware.com/FREE-Hi-...sfer-37524.htm

And yes I am playing with a spanish acoustic guitar.
